Any of the LMU 20 franc coins are .1867 oz of gold. They are 90% gold so you can actually handle them since they were used as actual currency.

While not 22K, I really like the 20 Franc LMU coins at 90% gold. I am partial to the Swiss Miss.

Premium is a bit high. I like the 1/4 oz better if going fractional. Seems a happier middle. But for fractional gold, I prefer to go with 20 Francs (or LMU equivalent), and I especially like Swiss Miss (pic related). It's a 90% gold coin so you end up with .1867 oz in each. I like that they were true currency that circulated. Less of a premium than on AGE fractionals or US gold coins. Something about Swiss gold gives it a cultured feel too. And they clank well.

For one thing, 24K gold is very soft and easily scratch and damaged. It's not a practical form of gold at all. When gold circulated as currency, the purest was still 22K. 90% gold was fairly common as well. I personally like to handle my gold....and not with gloves. Pic related is what I like. 90% that functioned as actual currency. I'm clinking a stack of them right now and they sound great.

90% gold or even 22K coins are my preferred. Gold is too soft of a metal on its own to function as a practical currency unless it is a gold alloy. The 20 francs (coronas) are my favorite. They are historical and functioned as currency. I don't like 24k because I can't enjoy it and I'm always worried I'm going to scratch it or dent it. Pic related are my favorite. There's something about Swiss gold that feels better.

I picked up some 1/4 oz, but also got some of these. These used to be the world's reserve currency. These are kino.

And after getting sufficient mercs, stock up on swiss misses. this is the true world's reserve currency.
